The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day and Week!
Let’s “Remember Everyone Deployed” today and every day until they come home!
Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning! “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots.” Welcome to the end of the week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 4 October 2024!
Today’s Message is: “Don’t Tell Day!” Why Not?
“Leadership is about accomplishing more through others by demonstrating to people integrity, character, and compassion, as well as a positive attitude. The best leaders don’t tell people how to do things, but they will tell them what they can do by example and delegating authority. People are always watching your demeanor and actions, so show them how it’s done!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

“The meaning runs deep for those men and women who’ve served this country: 'Honor & Respect Always — Warriors for Life’!” COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
An essential element for any leader is to set the example. You can't expect people to do what you tell them if you aren't living and breathing the way you want them to respond yourself.
Good RED Friday morning Colonel.
